About Dupont Underground

This iconic subway station has been derelict for many years but its history is recognised
in much of the literature about the area. The small plastic balls were previously installed at
The Architecture Museum in 2015 for an urban beach to great public acclaim.

Our competition entry enhanced the playful character of the scheme by producing barrels and
tubes of balls. These are connected by a hidden series of pulleys and cables to make hidden
connections for children and adults to interact with, proposing new life for an abandoned site.
